OMG Apple copying someone else's idea!?!? Sue sue sue!!! :P

Wonder if they will actually try to patent the idea and then sue Samsung.

I love Apple products, but how its taken this long for this concept to arrive is anyones guess. At least they are listening to their customers (sort of) even if its a few years later than it should of been here.

wow its only taken about two years - iOS is just out of date.

Is there any android launchers which add this functionality into other tablets?

yes and try and get damages for "their" idea from all devices from the S3 onwards.

Is it just me or is SSM just a bit of a niche idea? Phone and tablet #2 both have it, yet I've only used once on the phone and it never struck me as much more useful on the tablet. Actually, I'll go further - SSM only becomes truly useful on 9" and above screen sizes. On a phone especially I'm happier to have fast/easy app switching.
